Helping you minimise the risk of pallet and unit load damage by sharing best practice

Timber pallets are one of the most important and frequently used logistics platforms, fundamental to the movement of products in many supply chains across Australia and the world. Approximately 300 million CHEP platforms go through global supply chains on any given day. 

To help you minimise the risk of pallet and unit load damage, we have created a short video.
